Rod Brind'Amour






Cards Sent: 7/24/11
Received: 8/10/11 (3/2)


The beauty (and sometimes, the curse) of TTM is that you never know what to expect. I thought this letter would take much longer to get back but not only did it only take a little over two weeks, Mr. Brin'Amour enclosed a letter with a St. Louis card saying "Here's an extra if you don't already have it". Thanks Rod!

Chris Pronger



Cards Sent: February 16th, 2011
Cards received: June 2, 2011

Ah I was stoked to get these back. Pronger gets a lot of flack from fans for his questionable plays but he is easily one of my favorite NHL players right now. I sent these via the Flyers Skate Zone and he was nice enough to sign all thre and personalize themas well. A great return from a future hall of famer

Phil Housley


Card sent: February 2011
Card received 1/1: February 26th, 2011

I was really glad to get this card in the mail today. Phil Housley has always been a favorite of mine and he has the second highest amount of points for an American born player. He was a hard nosed Dman and in my opinion one of the most underrated Defensemen I can think of. Its strange how much of a journeyman he was during his career. Mr. Housley signed my card in black sharpie. I love this return.

Al MacInnis



Retired player: Currently working with the St. Louis Blues
Cards sent: February 3rd 2011.
Cards received 2/2, February 11th 2011

Holy cow, this was a quick return from a hall of famer! I always remember MacInnis as being such a beast at the blue line. I can't think of any other D guy would had as hard of a shot as his (hard enough to break a goalie's mask!). He played at the All-Star game 7 times, has a Stanley Cup, a Conn Smythe, a Norris, a gold medal, and 1274 career points. This was indeed a great return in BLUE sharpie.

Tony Twist

Retired Player

Card sent: January 5, 2011
Card recieved: January 28, 2011

Tony Twist is hands down one of the most fearsome enforcers in history of hockey. I can easily put him within the ranks of guys like Probert, Schultz, and O'Reilly. I remember his fights vividly and how brutal they truly were. Unfortunately, his career was cut short by a motorcycle accident that gave him a career ending injury. Mr. Twist signed my card in black sharpie and included a thank you letter for the fan mail. An excellent return from one of my all time favorite enforcers.

Brett Hull





Cards sent: November 3, 2010
Recieved: 2/2 November 23, 2010

This was an exciting return from the "Golden Mullet". Hull was pretty much the face of hockey when I was growing up in the 90's. He was everywhere (Cereal boxes, comic books, TV, and magazines) and I will always remember him for not only being a tremendous talent, but a class act as well. Mr. Hull signed all two of my cards in blue sharpie marker. Great return from one of the best.
